PAGE EIGH THE OSHAWA DAILY MES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1920 REGIMENTAL BOXING SHOW LAST NIGHT OUTSTANDING SUCCESS r-- Program of Eleven Bouts Provides | Excellent Evening at Armouries Bill Adams Scores Knockout in Fifteen Seconds, While Jimmy Leonard Boxes Extra Round With Tony Penick Before Gaining Decision -- Ten Fast and Furious Bouts Seen By Excellent Crowd, Only One Match Being Unevenly Contested . The Ontario Regiment's opening boxing show of the season staged at the armouries last night proved to be am unequalled success. Eleven bouts of fast, clean, hard hitting boxing were turned in and the large crowd was decidedly well satisfied with the exceedingly fine calibre of the evening's program. hy Summarizing, the results of the eleven bouts were as follows: Steve Minnix (126) was given referee's decision over George Fudger in first round, Jack Goodall (118) took ves feree's decision in three round tilt with Harry Bayes. Bob Summing (118) awarded decision over Hardman after latter was forced to retire with badly bleeding eye. ¥ ittie Bellingham's (105) se- conds threw in the towel in first round to give Eddie Hutchison the decision in only unevenly matched bout of the evening. Roy Adams (137) wemt three hard rounds to secure decision over Pete Talwin, Rill Adams (160) knocked Don Hudson out in 13 seconds for sensational victory in first round. Eddie Ba er (133) conceded Tony Fezzi seven pounds and won decision, Jack Underhill (133) staged a third round aggressive to defeat Fred Bennett, Jimmy McKenzie (126) won by decidely narrow margin from Tommy Bland, Scotty Adair in an unschedul- ed hout, defeated ¥red Gavigan after three fast rounds, Jimmy Leonard (147) was forced to go an extra round be. fore awarded decision over Jack Penick "Dempsey' of Hamilton, There were probably two out- standing features in the evening, the first being Bill Adams' knock- out whieh he scored at Don Hud- son's expense only 15 seconds after the hell rang to start their bout under way. The second brilliant piece was Jimmy Leonard's bout with Tony Penick of Hamilton which had to be carried an addi- tional round before Leonard was declared the winner, Bill Adam's k. o. pune, was a right uppercut to the jaw, a torrifie smash which sent Don Hudson of Toronto into the land of sl r for fully two minutes. Thre: ing upper drives in fast succession to Hudson's body preceded the final hlow that ended the bout in short order. This was the only knockout of the evening, all the remalmuns bouts, with the exception of those ruled as technical knockouts being hard fought contests which went the entire three rounds with Jimmy Leonard's four round tilt being thrown into the bargain. The Jimmy Leonard-Tony "Demp sey' bout was slated as the featute of the evening and lived up to ad- vance notices, Both boys were fast on their feet and knew how to use boty their pedal extremities along with their hands to advantage, Ter- rific smashes were handed out hy both men . and it was only in the fourth and deciding round that Leonard hit any harder or oftener than Dempsey, by virtue of which however, he won the decision, Jimmy McKengie"s hout with Tommy Bland was another bril- liant affair, the two fighters heing so evenly matched that in the minds of some, this also as least should have gone an extra three minutes to decide once and for all which wads the better of the two. The Toronto boys, Eddie Bayer and Tony Fezzi provided another of the evening's closely matched houts although at the beginning Matech- maker Fred Hardman's earstwhile excellent ability in picking the con- testants was questioned, This devel» oped into a real scrap however and the only slip on the evening's pro- gram remained that of the fourth bout hetween Bellingham and Hnt- chinson. Here the matchmaker was misinformed on Hutchinson's exper- fence and ability ani eonsequently the local youngster didn't have a chance when he found himself up against a seasoned and hard hitt- ine serapper. The second bout of the evening Was nurn- sg8" | OCEAN FARE TO CANADA for the Wives and children of Brit: ish Subjects who arrived in Canada prior to Juse 6th, 1928, Children under { 17 years--FREE CANADIAN Apply at once to Anche unNes il 1 pe SERVICE, Cor. Bay. and Wellington Stg., Toronto, --or Nearcst Agent | ee ee put the fans in a receptive mood for what followed, this little fiasco being between Jack Goodall and Harry Bayes. This pair were ex- ceptionally well matched and they mixed it considerably all the way through. An extra helping on the evening's program, in the form of an eleventh bout, was that between Scotty Adair of the Excelsior A.C. and Fred Gav- igan. Gavigan, with a boarding house reach in comparison with Scotty, mixed it up rather warmly in the first round until he found what he was up against and then fell back to a hard kitting defen- sive which however was insufficient for him to win the decision. The opening bout on the card, between Steve Minnix and George Fudger, developed into a surprise to some when Minnix planted innum- erable smashes on Fudger's coun- tenance which knocked hin quite groggy and caused Referee Ed Don- ald to stop the proceedings. Fud- ger showed lack of condition but should look much better on his next appearance, A summary of the bouts is as fol- lows: Minnix and Fudger Minnix with hard right hand punches knocked Fudger groggy in the first round, Referee Donaid putting a stop to the punishment and awarding the bout to Minnix after two minutes of fighting. Min- nix's left and right hand punches were too much for Fudger's nsually strong defensive and the latter's nose was beginning to trickle when Referee Donald awarded the bout to Minnix. Goodall and Bayes The first round of this fight dev- eloped into as pretty a piece of hox- ing as one would eare to :ea. Both boys fought ecavefully yet smartly and neither man showed to advan- tage to any extent. The second round was faster--much faster, and terrible hlows to both face and hody were exchanged / by both Dboys. Some clever footwork was also shown and the second round ended with still nothing to choose hetween the two fighters. The last round opened with some hard in-fighting and terrific blows to the body. It was the hardest hitting, fastest bout thus far in the evening and the decision was close, but a popular one for 'dall, The boys shook hands «. er the decision and both were given a rousing applause hy the crowd as they left the ring. It was a real bit of fighting and hota hoys show mueh promise for future engagements, Cumming and Hardman The first round opened with a whirlwind rush from hoth hoys which seemed impossible to last. Hardman went down from a body punch for a count of eight hut came hack strongly and gave Cumming some punishment with right jabs to the head. Cumming fought off the attack however, and sent over a second hody blow which sent Hardman to the eanvas, the eount being stopped by the bell, Cumming continued in the second round where he left off in the first and after drawing blood from Hard- man's nose and eye Referee Donald stopped the fight, awarding the hout unquestionably to Cumming, Cumming packed killing force in hoth hands and had the margin throughout. When Hardman receiv- ed his cut over the eye, he rightly requested Referee Donald tn stop further hostilities. Bellingham and Hutchinson An immediate hard right to the jaw by Hutchinson and annther a half minute later, hoth of which sent Bellingham to the mat for counts of seven, caused DBelling- ham's seconds to immediately throw in the towel and put an end to the punishment. Hutchinson was easily ten years older than Bellingham in experience and the engagement turned to be the only unevenly matched hout of the evening, Adams and Talwin These boys, fighting at eateh weights, opened fire with a hurn- ing exchange with 'Adams 20 pounds the lighter, getting at first slight- ly the better of the mauling. Adams showed incredible speed on his feet and packed a wicked punch into the bargain which more than made op for Talwin's weight, Talwin how- ever was aggressive and the bell for the first round found both boys battling fairly evenly at the centre of the ring. The second round was somewhat a repitition of the first except for several clinches while both boys were still showing little to advantage. Both fighters opened the third round fighting for a knock out. A bard right to Talwin"s head staggered him but the heavy hoy came back and hit hard for the re- mainder of the gruelling. Adams was given the judges' division on his hard hitting ability but it was agreed that this was one of the nicest bouts of the evening. Bill Adams and Hudson Bill Adams scored the quickest knockout ever seen in the local ring when after only 15 secbnds of ex- change he hit Hudson a terrific up- percut on the jaw which put the Toronto boy out not only for the count of ten but for twn whole minutes before he came back to earth. Adams' knockout elip was preceded by three burning rizht- hand socks clean from the floor to Hudson's heart and the sei-to was 50 short the fans hardly se-med to realize what had happened Bayer and Fezzi Topy Fezzi, with an advantage C.

McGill have defin- itely decided that should they be suc- cessful in winning the title, they will not enter the Canadian championship round. : 3 Queen's are practically certain to be named on their season's showing, for although they divided their home games with the Blue, a loss for To- ronto tomorrow would place the Var- sity team in the cellar of the final standing. of seven pounds in weight stumbled Bayer to the canvas twice in the first round but Bayer uncorked a wicked right hook towards the end of the round which sent Feazzi back om his heels several times, It was sock for sock in this round and Bayer's hard jabs to the head easily made up for slips to the caa- vas early in the fiasco. Bayer shove ed a disconcerting left to Feszai's nose in the second round and drew blood from Fezzi's nasal extremity just at the bell. Fezzi, when he con- nected, made his presence felt. The last round saw Fezzi trying for a knockout but Bayer was a trifle too smart although Fezzi with some terrific haymakers drew blood from Bayer's mouth. The boys drew a big hand at the bell especially Bay- er when he was given the decision. Bayer's left and his superior foot- work gave him his winning margin. Underhill and Bennett After a careful introductory ex- change, these two Taronto boys mixed it considerably in the first round. Underhill sending in some sledgehammer blows which stagg- ered Bennett, Bennett, however, earned Underhill's respect by some lightning punches all the way through. Bennett knocked Under- hill out of the ring in the second round but Underhill came promptly back and drew blood from Ben- nett's nose, A terrific exchange foll- owed with some of the hardest slug- ging of the fight being shown by hoth fighters, Like the first, this was a real round but the third saw Bennett weaken as Underhill sent through punch after punch to the face which soon hecame reddened with blood. The decision, for Und- erhill, hardly needed to be announes ed hut Bennett was given a great hand as he left the ring, McKenzie and Bland This shaped up as a colourful bout from the start, Bland, a tall lanky boy with a long reach, took the aggressive but ran into a storm of terrific lefts from McKenzie which warned him to heware of hay makers, Both bhoys showed some nice footwork and continued to do 80 in the second round, Some more nice boxing, interesperced with some hard shots from both fighters, was seen in the second round but there was still nothing to chonse between the two men. The third round was a sizzler with hoth hoys hitting hard in an attempt for the decision. The hoys swapped blows at random, and the decision, for Me- Kenzie, met with the only storm of mingled acclaim and protest of the evening, McKenzie's sightly super- for boxing in the first round gave him the hout. Adair and Gavigan Gavigan drew blood from Adair's eye early in the first round but Ad- aim came right back and sent Gavig- an to the carpet, drawing blood hefore the end of the round. This was another fast, hard pounding hout although Adair seemed to have the margin, Although with an ad- vantage in reach and weight, Gavig- an took the defensive in the second round and took several staggering slaps for his trouble although Ad- air's eye was re-opened with con- siderable blood flowing, Gavigan continued to lack aggressiveness in the last round and the crowd began to beg Adair for a knockout, Adair was hitting hard but failed to fol- low up for the decisive punch, He was given the judges decigion by o considerable margin. Adair fought a beautiful game throughout and was loudly acclaimed as he left the ring. Leonard and * " This, the feature hout of the ey- ening, lived up to expectations. Penick, resembling the famous Jack Dempsey, so much that he was apnounced by the above nickname, made an early bid for supremacy but was quickly put in his place by Leonard with right and left to the face. Le*nard's hard hitting gave him the first round by a slight margin. Both boys mixed it consi- erable in the second and fists flew right and left for the entire three minutes. Dempsey's dangerous lef: found Leopard's face many times but Leonard nearly evened matters op with hard shots to both body and face, It was a hard hitting round, and evened up the first, Leonard rushed in the third round and drove in several wuppercuts that hurt. Dempsey clinched continually put continued using his left to good advantage. The bell found the boys going as strong as ever and another round was ordered by Referee Don- ald, so evenly were they matched. The deciding round was a whirl- wind with both boys smashing ter- rifie drives to the body and face. Leonard, using his uppercut, ecar- ried the early part of the round bux Dempsey staged a surprising come- back only to lose out at the last with Leonard earning the decision, It was truly the feature affair oi the brilliant evening's program. The Week in Canadian Sport For two years professional hoe- key on the Pacific coast has been in the moth balls. On the 19.h of this month the game will again spring forth in four cities out there under the leadership of Frank Pat- rick, a man who has introduced more new rules into puck chasing than any other person in the game, On the 22nd of last month the Pacific Coast Hockey Association announced Frank Patrick as its first president. The cities included in the pro. loop are Victoria, Van- couver, Seattle and Portland. For the past few weeks there have been extensive exchanges and buying and selling of players in the wes'- ern part of Canada, Also a num- ber of amateur stars from the prairie provinces have turned their skill into dollars and cents, Victoria will see her first game of pro, hockey at Willows Arena THURSDAY THE-OLD RWALS MEET THEN PICK LP THE PIECES on Nov, 20 and the interest that has been created throughout Can- ada is tremendous. The outlook for the game is bright on the coast but the east is pessimistic about the new and drastic changes in the rules and claims that the officials will kill the sport, However, time will tell and it's the west's party. They should be handed the palm for their ambition, Next Thursday marks the official opening of the 1928 big league hockey - seasof and probably the most sensational battle in the openers will be at Montreal be- tween the Canadiens and the Mar- oons. Nowhere in the Calder loop is there such keen interest as in Quebec province, As for the gridiron, a man would have to say who will come out on top for the to perform miracles SCOTT HUBBELL Here is one hoy who can always be relied upon to do something not only reliable but brilliant, He packs a wicked hoof and can run an end with anyone, London States Wanless Unable to Play Today London, Nov, 9.--Bill Wanless, star half back of the London "Gas House Gang," is unlikely to figure in Sat- urday"s intermediate O.R.F.U, game in Oshawa. Wanless was injured in the game last week and has not taken part in a workout since that time, Bert Ellyatt, the heavy line- plunger, is also on the hospital list, but the management expects that he will get into the game for a short time, Despite the fact that Wanless is unlikely to be a starter, the London "Gas House Gang" believe that they will come through with a victory at Oshawa, The Londoners won the game here last week and if they repeat they will qualify for the finals of the Ontario Rugby Football Union. If they drop Saturday's game a sud- den-death contest will be ordered on neutral ground and will likely be played in mid-week, The London rugby officials have not been advised that the palatial private bus of Geperal Motors is to make a trip here and convey the London officials to Oshawa. The team and officials will leave on Saturday morning and will make the trip by train. The final workout was held by the Londoners at Thames Park last night under artificial light. A chalk talk will be held to-night and the London- ers will introduce an entirely new set of plays. A number of spectators will accom- y the London team to Oshawa. Tom Bonk, the running half back who made 8 75-yard run and scored a spectacular touchdown against the General Motors team in the first , has been showing up bril- Hantly in the workouts and is due for another big day on Saturday. Jack McCully, former Stratford amateur players, who. has been with New York Kpickerbocker club for the past two years, will sign a London contract today. The railbirds have watched this player perform at the workouts for the past two weeks. He is a good pro prospect and Manager Corbeau believes he will fit in well. with the local club. --.

The stage is set for this afternoon.

You whale and you wail and you wail and you whale, Then start in and do just the same. And I told the boys down by the To come up and see a real game, The Blue Devils are today playing n, And they're out to redeem their good name. So I figured it out by the ringside Where we'd win by a whale of a score. $0 be sure and be there at 2.30, And we'll beat them as never before. I've decided that I'll stick to the gridiron game after last aight's fights, I'm afraid I'd feel too cooped up in a ring. But it was a real dollars worth of sport and if the fans aren't pleased it was their own fault, Last night the plans for today's game were draughted and the hoys have a definite conception of ir particular part in the attack, Win or lose the Blue Devils will not disgrace General Motors or Oshawa. For a first year team they have earned a wonderful reputation. They are a real bunch of sports and have been welcomed every place they have gone, Weather Clear--Track Fast and no foolin', So let's go for a real game today. If our halfline ever uncorks a few of their fast passing runs-- well it will be just too-bad. Kindly take note of Shorty Pound's new sweater coat that the boys presented him with, It sure looks smart and he's as proud as a peacock about it, 16-YEAR-OLD COBALT BOY DROWNED IN MILL CREEK Cobalt, Noy, 10--Provincial police officers this afternoon located in Lake Temiskaming the body of Lawrence Courtemanche, 16-year-old son of the postmaster at North Co- balt.
